A love letter to Prime Day deals that are 50% off or more

Strap in, deal‑hunters, because the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days are officially unleashing the thrill of the chase — and the discounts are truly insane.

Listen, I’ve been deal-hunting and reporting on Prime Day for more than 5 years now, and I always hunt for the jaw‑dropping markdowns that will make your wallet do cartwheels. You know the fun begins when you see “50% off” slapped on gadgets you’ve been eyeing for months, anyway.

Welcome to the sale-palooza where “steal” is a humble adjective and “deal” is a way of life.

From smart plugs that no longer command royal prices to premium earbuds that now cost less than dinner out, the Big Deal Days are churning out discount after discount. One minute you’re browsing — the next minute, you’re adding things to your cart faster than Amazon can flash “Lightning Deal.” This is where tech dreams meet bargain reality, and your maybe-someday wish list mutates into a buy-now celebration.

But be warned: like a roller coaster ride, these deals won’t linger. Inventory disappears, countdowns tick, prices pop back up. That’s why we’ve rounded up the greatest list of 50%+ bargains you need to pounce on immediately. Get your scrolling fingers ready: this wild discount safari stops for no one.

OK, this is the crème de la crème of Prime Day deals. Not only did I review close to everything from medicube, but these bulk packs also help gently exfoliate the skin after your cleanser. Plus, they’re less than $25.

Your Prime Big Deal Days FAQs, answered

What is Prime Big Deal Days?

This annual Amazon sale — which we like to call October Prime Day — is similar to the well-known July event: it’s a two-day blow out shopping event with deep discounts on bestsellers and everyday essentials. But the timing of this sale makes all the difference; shoppers can also score pre-Black Friday deals on top-rated toys and sell-out-risk gifts before the holiday rush.

How long does Prime Big Deal Days last?

Amazon’s fall Prime Day event only lasts two days. This sale starts on Tuesday October 7 at 12:01 a.m. PT and runs through Wednesday October 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

When does Prime Big Deal Days end?

Prime Big Deal Days 2025 ends on Wednesday October 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT, so east-coasters have until about 3 a.m. on October 9 their time to shop the deals.

Do you have to be an Amazon Prime member to shop?

Prime Big Deal Days is a member-exclusive sale event. Interested shoppers can grab a 30-day free trial to try Prime, and its many benefits, with no strings attached.

Prime Day vs. Prime Big Deal Days: What’s the difference?

Already familiar with July Prime Day? Then you’ll love Amazon’s fall version! Like its summer spectacular sale, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days offers major discounts for 48 hours, but with a bigger focus on holiday gifts, toys and tech to shop ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

What are the best deals?

From reporting on Amazon sales for years, we can tell you for certain that October Prime Day is the ideal period to stock up on household essentials, score great deals on gift-worthy items and toys, take advantage of Black Friday-level discounts on tech and appliances, refill your skincare empties, and comb through the massive catalog of Amazon best-sellers.

Is it worth it?

We certainly think so! October Prime Day is a great chance to score Black Friday-worthy deals on thousands of best-sellers, including everything from big-ticket tech to Post reader-favorite trash bags. Our team diligently sorts through all the offers to find you the very best items to grab on sale.

When is the next Prime Day?

Already wondering when Amazon’s next Prime Day is? Prime Day takes place in July each year, so it’s safe to assume it will take place in mid-July 2026 — similar to previous years. Can’t wait to shop more Amazon deals? Look out for Amazon’s Black Friday sales to kick off the holiday season in November.
